Hofstra is disputing responsibility after a student or examinee reportedly collapses and suffers a cardiac arrest during a bar exam held at the university. According to the accounts provided, Hofstra argues it has no legal duty connected to protecting examinees in that situation.
Both reports describe Hofstra’s position in similar terms, framing the issue around whether the university had an obligation to respond or prevent harm during the event. They focus less on the underlying medical incident details and more on the legal responsibility of the entity hosting or providing the space for the bar examination.
While the two outlets emphasize Hofstra’s claim from slightly different angles—one describing a lack of duty tied to helping examinees in the emergency, the other describing a lack of a “duty to protect”—they both center the same core dispute over liability and the university’s role during the bar exam.
